Government Energy Audits at Hill Air Force Base
According to Alamo Infrared - The Federal Government has asked military bases to cut energy consumption by 30 percent by 2015. These large buildings and aircraft hangars and maintenance facilities require extra large volume blower doors. Only Utah Energy Audit has the largest blower door systems capable of these large audits.

Energy Auditing Movie Theaters - Thetop energy saving tip for multi screen theatre operators
Energy Auditing Movie Theatres - The top energy saving tip for multi screen theater operators
We performed energy audits on five different multi screen movie theaters last week in Utah County, UT. These were medium size (4-8 screen) around 25,000- 40,000 square foot buildings. There was one thing in common with 4 of the 5. No Makeup Air!! These cinemas were using the Christie Xenon projectors that need exhaust cooling fans connected to the outside. Christie recommends 400 - 750 cfm fans for their projectors. We tested these exhaust fans to be right at 600 cfm. If you multiply 600 cfm by 6 or 8, we are talking about 4,000 cfm being pulled out of the building, mostly through the doors in the lobby. This amounts to multiple ACH (air changes per hour) and the main reason for the $600-800 monthly heating bills.
In the energy audit report we highly recommend the installation of an Acme Direct Fired Gas Heated Make Up Air Unit that would supply 4,000 cfm of heated air to make up for the conditioned air being sucked out by the projector fans.
The rooftop HVAC units were are clean and properly installed, along with the projector exhausts and concession condensers - what is absent is any source of make up air.
The larger screened MegaPlex (12-20 screen) Cinemas that we have audited all had multiple make up air units.

Testing the Rinnai R85 Tankless Water Heater
The Rinnai R85 Tankless Water Heater - We are seeing more and more of these guys
The Rinnai Tankless Water Heater Revisited - I blogged about these units 2 years ago when the jury was still out. Well now the jury is in, and I am no longer a skeptic. They really work and they work really well. I saw them all over England and Europe a few years ago, then they appeared at the condos at our ski resorts. Utah has 14 ski resorts and 10 are in the Salt Lake City area so we inspect a lot of these condos. Most of these condos are rentals and time shares so they sit vacant most of the time. So the on demand tankless water heaters made great sense.
Now we are seeing these water heaters in more and more homes. The most common is the Rinnai Model R85. Last month we had several large vacant homes at Sundance with R85's installed so we put them to the test. We ran the hot water at every sink, tub and shower for 20 minutes. The thermostat was set on the Rinnai to 130 degrees. After 20 minutes the water coming out of the master shower was maintaining a constant 120 degrees. I remain almost awestruck at the performance of these tankless water heaters.
